Gday Mud community!
Here is my new project…. This came about due to me being sick a couple of weeks back and searching marketplace for rust free doors for my Hj61 (prob needs more than just the doors though!). I found this fj62 3F carby, 5 speed manual, 12 month 1989 with rust free doors and unmarked interior (apart from saas steering wheel / extra switches on the dash etc). I paid too much for an unlicensed 60, ($4500 AUD) for where I live - especially since there is more rust in the gutters than I first thought - but I am pretty competent at welding and metal fab, so that doesnt worry me!
Anyway - now the fight is on as my 18 yr old daughter, and my wife are both wanting it as their daily driver (my wife daily drives our 2014 ttd vx 200 series - with 900Nm) and my daughter drives a 1999 RAV4 that my wife bought new….
Will see here this takes us and how deep we go into it - and if I can get it licensed!!
Here are some pics!!

I don’t suppose anyone would know the colour of the fuel gauge wire under the dash? When I was pulling out all extra wires I think I disconnected it thinking it was to do with some add-on accessory, and now my fuel gauge isn’t working…

The Chassis & Body Repair Manual will have the correct wiring diagram at the very end. That includes all the wire colors ... See here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/resources/categories/60-series.1/

Under that link you'll see some downloads for service manuals listed. Sometimes Toyota changed things over the years that the 60 Series was made so you may need to reference several different years of the manuals to pinpoint what you need. Good luck, super cool truck!
